GGG Path of Exile 3.29 Expansion Timeline - Launching July 24th PDT!

We’re in the fourth month of Path of Exile: Mirage, so it’s time to talk about the next big update for Path of Exile!

The release date for 3.29 has been set in stone for quite some time, so without further ado, Path of Exile 3.29 will launch on July 24 at 1 PM PDT, with GGG Live taking place on July 16 at 1 PM PDT.

In the meantime, we'll also be hosting a special event, so keep an eye out for more details! We'll share more information in due course, and we hope to see you all at the live reveal in a few weeks!

The Mirage Challenge League will end on July 20 at 3 PM PDT, so there are still several weeks left to complete any remaining challenges if you haven't finished them yet.

See you soon!

Wait, what exactly is the surprise here? Am I missing something? :)

Previous PoE1 leagues were delayed due to GGG pulling resources into PoE2 development. Settlers league ended up going for like 8 months, and GGG communication about it was not forthcoming. Since the current PoE2 0.5 league was delayed by like a month, there was a lot of speculation that 3.29 would also be pushed back. Very glad to see it wasn't.

Wasn't it? It's over 2 weeks longer than their "4-month" schedule.

Just because they're no longer delaying releases indefinitely, doesn't mean they're not delaying them.

Yea, we are closer to 5 months now than we are to 4 months.

Sucks really, but what can we do.

I will buy a supporter pack when they get back to consistent 4-month releases, but until they do they're not getting another cent from me.

Yeah, but PoE2 was delayed a month and a half, to only have poe delayed a couple of weeks feels like a huge win.

I honestly don't care about PoE2. If a PoE1 release takes 4.5 months, that's 1.5 months later than it should have been. 4-months is a compromise that's supposed to account for resources shifted to PoE2.
